I’ve been eyeing this stroller for about 5 years now. When I was pregnant with my 2nd (and what I thought would be final child) I didn’t think it was worth it to spend the money on this stroller. Well, 3 more kids later (that’s 5 total now), I can wholeheartedly say it’s worth it! Even if you only have 2 kids, this stroller is worth it!
Pros:
1. The tires: if you off-road on the trails, this baby pushes like a dream. Nice stability for the little passengers on gravel, dirt trails with sticks, plants, grass, sand, snow. It’s ready. This was huge for me, we go out on the trails weekly. But I will say, even if you only use it on the sidewalk, it’s still worth it to get these wheels. They push so effortlessly and make for a much better stroller experience, for both the rider and driver.
2. It fits through doorways! This fit through the interior doorways in my house and through my front door. Those are as narrow as they usually come. Doorways in the store, or the handicapped bathroom stalls can also be handled easily. This makes it great for day to day use as well as out on the trails.
3. The basket: As a mom of 5 out on the trails, I have snacks, drinks, wipes packed that I need to be able to get to easily. This basket is large, open, and accessible. I’ve had plenty of double strollers where once a kid is sitting, it’s a huge pain to try and get into the basket. Not the case here! The best storage basket on a stroller, hands down!
4. Sunshades: Nothing ruins a nice walk like having the sun in your eyes. These things fold down so far, that’s just not an issue here for the kiddos. My pale kids are happy.
5. Backrest that lays nearly flat: This is super important for us. Going out a whole day on the trails is fun for me and the older kids. But the little ones who still need a nap to function would get pretty worn out. Now I can very easily fold the seat down for napping, and push it back up when they are ready to be on the lookout.
6. The handlebar: My spouse and I are both of average height, so the adjustable handlebar isn’t a huge deal for us, but will be nice for those of you who are tall or short. However, the handlebar material is like a grippy rubber that will last a long time. I appreciate this. You can clean it quick with a wet-wipe too. Those foam handlebars on other strollers always end up cracking and breaking off after 6 months and then your stroller looks worn out. Not the case here!
Ok now the cons:
1. Heavy: This is not a light stroller to pick up when folded. I believe it’s 36lbs, so it’s hefty. But as someone who takes this in and out of my van at least 2x a week, it’s not a deal-breaker for me.
2. The fold: I still can’t fold this easily. It’s a little awkward. There are nice handles to pick it up once it’s folded in half so I just get it mostly folded and then put it in the trunk. It is pretty much folded all the way, but I don’t engage the lock on it because that feels like I need to force it. I don’t care for that feeling. I do have the bumper bars on though so that might be the reason why. I don’t bother to take those off.
Despite being a side by side stroller, this takes up less space in my trunk than the sit and stand stroller I also have. I did purchase a stroller organizer here on Amazon too. Fits well and could hold 2 organizers if you want. Overall, if your on the fence, I would say go for it. This is an awesome stroller, rides very smooth, looks nice, and will last a long time!
